Profile: https://flows.cv/thomassarpong

Full-stack platform engineer with 7+ years of experience turning bold ideas into production-ready products. I specialize in
building MVPs quickly, scaling them into reliable platforms, and leading small teams through high-growth stages. My
work spans YC-backed startups and enterprise innovation groups, where I’ve delivered systems used by millions of users
and supported revenue-generating customer launches. I thrive in early-stage environments where speed, ownership, and
technical depth drive business impact.
